Abstract
The hydro excavation remote dig system provides for a primary and secondary dig tube attachments that permit a vacuum truck to be used for a remote dig setup. Specifically, the attachments include various attachable handles, corrugated tubing that connects to a reinforcement bar device with releasable clamps to maintain the corrugated tubing in an elongated state during use, a debris box with an integrated safety valve, and a dig tip.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedI claim:
1. A method of vacuuming fluids into a vacuum truck using the following steps: Articulating said vacuum tip to the distal end of a first segment of vacuum tube; Connecting said vacuum tip to said assembly bar; Articulating said clamp to the proximal end of said first segment of vacuum tube and to the distal end of second segment of vacuum tube; Connecting said clamp to said assembly bar; Articulating said shutter relief valve to the proximal end of said second segment of vacuum tube; Connecting said shutter relief value to said assembly bar; Connecting at least one handle to said assembly bar; Attaching an adaptor to the proximal end of said second segment of vacuum tube; and, Connecting said adaptor to the distal portion of a vacuum hose that is attached to a vacuum truck.
2. An apparatus for for vacuuming fluids into a vacuum truck utilizing a primary attachment at the distal end of a vacuum truck hose, consisting of a. At least one handle that connects to at least one assembly bar and can be transposed along said assembly bar and reattached to said assembly bar; b. a shutter relief valve that connects to said assembly bar; c. a clamp that connects to said assembly bar and can be transposed along said assembly bar and reattached to said assembly bar; d. at least one assembly bar; and, e. a vacuum tip that connects to said assembly bar and utilizing using the Method of claim 1 .
3. The vacuum tip of claim 2 wherein it lacks water nozzle holes.
4. The assembly bar of claim 2 , wherein it connects said removable handle, said shutter relief valve, said clamp and said vacuum tip.
5. The shutter relief valve of claim 2 , wherein it has at least one shutter.
6. The shutter relief valve of claim 5 , wherein it has two shutters.
7. The handle of claim 2 , wherein the handle is removable.
8. An apparatus for vacuuming fluids into a vacuum truck comprising: At least one assembly bar; At least one section of vacuum tubing further comprising a distal end, a proximal end, and a central section; A dig tip which is slid around the distal end of said vacuum tubing and is connected to an assembly bar with at least one snap pin; A relief valve which is slid around the proximal end of said vacuum tubing and at attached to said assembly bar with at least one snap pin; At least one assembly clamp that surrounds the central section of said vacuum tubing and is attached to said assembly bar with at least one snap pin; At least one assembly adaptor that connects to said assembly bar with at least one snap pin; and An assembly adaptor that is slid around the proximal end of said vacuum tubing and is connected to an assembly bar with at least one snap pin, and utilizing using the Method of claim 1 .Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
